David Moffat
Dave has been a dedicated volunteer on the Colostomy UK helpline for over two years, where he enjoys connecting with fellow ostomates and offering support, guidance, and a listening ear. Drawing on his own lived experience, Dave provides practical advice on a wide range of topics, including pancaking, hernias, prolapsed stomas, skin care, exercise, travel, and emotional wellbeing.
Alongside his helpline role, Dave is an accredited Access Auditor and a qualified Building Surveyor. He actively promotes stoma-friendly facilities and Colostomy UK whenever possible, with hands-on experience in designing and implementing stoma-friendly toilets and adaptations that make buildings more accessible for disabled people.
Outside of his advocacy work, Dave is passionate about sport. He continues to play walking football, is a regular at his local gym, and loves exploring the countryside or coast with his dog—especially if there’s a welcoming pub waiting at the end of the walk. A lifelong Newcastle United supporter, Dave brings the same enthusiasm to stoma awareness and support as he does to cheering on his team.
